魔法界最著名的童話書!
打敗佛地魔的關鍵線索!

  妙麗親筆翻譯+J.K.羅琳手繪插圖+鄧不利多獨家註解!

  《吟遊詩人皮陀故事集》是魔法世界最著名的童話故事書,也是阿不思.鄧不利多留給妙麗.格蘭傑的遺物,其中更包含了哈利波特的最後任務,也就是毀滅佛地魔分靈體的關鍵線索。五篇故事中只有〈三兄弟的故事〉的內容曾在《哈利波特》第七集《死神的聖物》中出現,其餘四篇〈幸運泉〉、〈魔法師的毛茸茸心臟〉、〈巫師與跳跳鍋〉以及〈巴比兔迪迪和咯咯笑樹樁〉則都是直到現在才首次曝光。

  這次推出的新版本,是由妙麗.格蘭傑翻譯自古代神秘文字的原版故事,並配上J.K.羅琳親手繪製的插圖,同時還有經由霍格華茲校長檔案室慷慨許可後所加入的鄧不利多教授對這些故事所作的獨到註解,相信所有巫師和麻瓜們都能樂在其中。

  本書的所有盈餘都將捐贈予Children’s High Level Group。Children’s High Level Group(CHLG)為兒童爭取權利,改善無助年輕人的生活。

  The Tales of Beedle the Bard, a Wizarding classic, first came to Muggle readers’ attention in the book known as Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows.  Now, thanks to Hermione Granger’s new translation from the ancient runes, we present this stunning edition with an introduction, notes, and illustrations by J. K. Rowling, and extensive commentary by Albus Dumbledore. Never before have Muggles been privy to these richly imaginative tales: “The Wizard and the Hopping Pot,” “The Fountain of Fair Fortune,” “The Warlock’s Hairy Heart,” “Babbitty Rabbitty and Her Cackling Stump,” and of course, “The Tale of the Three Brothers.” But not only are they the equal of fairy tales we now know and love, reading them gives new insight into the world of Harry Potter. The stories are accompanied by delightful pen-and-ink illustrations by Ms. Rowling herself, featuring a still-life frontispiece for each one. Professor Dumbledore’s commentary—apparently written some eighteen months before his death—reveals not just his vast knowledge of Wizarding lore, but also more of his personal qualities:   his sense of humor, his courage, his pride in his abilities, and his hard-won wisdom. Names familiar from the Harry Potter novels sprinkle the pages, including Aberforth Dumbledore, Lucius Malfoy and his forebears, and Sir Nicholas de Mimsy-Porpington (or “Nearly Headless Nick”), as well as other professors at Hogwarts and the past owners of the Elder Wand. Dumbledore tells us of incidents unique to the Wizarding world, like hilariously troubled theatrical productions at Hogwarts or the dangers of having a “hairy heart.” But he also reveals aspects of the Wizarding world that his Muggle readers might find all too familiar, like censorship, intolerance, and questions about the deepest mysteries in life. Altogether, this is an essential addition to our store of knowledge about the world and the magic that J. K. Rowling has created, and a book every true Harry Potter fan will want to have for their shelves. This purchase also represents another very important form of giving: From every sale of this book, Scholastic will give its net proceeds to the CHILDREN’S HIGH LEVEL GROUP, a charity cofounded in 2005 by J.K. Rowling and Baroness Nicholson of Winterbourne, MEP.  CHLG campaigns to protect and promote children’s rights and make life better for vulnerable young people.  www.chlg.org Published by the Children’s High Level Group, in association with Arthur A. Levine Books, THE TALES OF BEEDLE THE BARD will be available December 4, 2008.
